SNARE DRUMS & DRUM SETS

The George Way drum company currently offers two lines of snare drums and drum sets - The Aristocrat line and the Tuxedo line. Both lines are manufactured in limited production runs through out the year.

All George Way snare drums are now available as CSO (Concert / Symphonic / Orchestral) models!

NEW FOR 2019! Introducing the Aristocrat line of snare drums and drum sets!

I am very pleased to announce that the Aristocrat line is in production and will coincide with the Tuxedo line - the best of both! The Aristocrat line features beautiful Art Deco single-ended lugs that were designed by George in 1953.

George Way Aristocrat and Tuxedo snare drums and drum outfits feature shells crafted from Acacia, Walnut or Maple / Poplar. Shells are 4 made from 4 plies with 4 ply reinforcement rings. (Acacia shells for snare drums are crafted from two ply shells wit 2 ply reinforcement rings)

Only traditional sizes are offered with tom sizes from 10" to 18" and bass drums from 18" to 26".
